Black Glitter Slime Ingredients:

• 5 oz Elmer’s School Glue (the clear makes the black color darker)
• 5 oz water
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• Black food coloring
• Glitter (any color combination you like)
• 1 tbsp saline solution
• Disposable bowl
• Disposable spoon

Black Glitter Slime Recipe

1. In a disposable bowl, mix equal parts of glue and water. I am using one 5 oz bottle of glue and 5 oz of water. I like to use a disposable spoon as well
2. Add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda and mix.
3. Mix in black food coloring until your desired color is reached.
4. Then add in glitter in various colors. We used black, purple, blue, and dark grey. You can add as little or as much glitter as you like. Mix well and add more if needed.
5. Add in 1 tablespoon of saline solution and whip the mixture. After a few minutes, it will start to pull together as slime.
6. Knead until smooth and the stickiness has disappeared. You may need to add more saline solution. You can also add a bit of saline solution to your hands before kneading to help the mixture not stick to your hands.
7. Add to a resealable container like a glass jar then let the fun begin!

All kids will love this black glitter slime! It is so vibrant and perfect for some spooky fun leading up to Halloween night. Will you add black glitter to your recipe or another color? Gold would look amazing as well, don’t you think?
